Windows 7: connected to network no internet access

i just got a new custom built computer and it was great. i have not gotten a wireless card so i have a wired connection atm.

had no problems what so ever, then yesterday i go to get on a game and it says no internet connection or servers down i was like huh so i go to search google why my games server is down. no connection to internet so i look and comp says im connected to local area and ive tested tried diagnosing the problem but that doesnt do squat.

i have about 5 wireless computers that are working fine and 2 wired computers the one wired is working fine and mine ya my brand new friggin comp is the one that doesnt work. im not techy in this aspect at all so im about ready to throw my POS out the window.

so can please someone helpe me asap? i have an online exam id like to take on this computer due by the end of the night.

i tried the npsh reset altho i dont really kno what that does i did it. i havent recently installed any new programs so idk.

idk exactly what you guys need to diagnose but ill put out what it says on what i can get to easily......

looks like a probable dns issue...try plugging in a hard coded dns entry into the properties of your network card. I believe 198.147.221.34 will work but you can jump into your routers interface and see what it's using for dns on the wan side, which would probably be better since it should belong to your isp. Also you can google you isp's dns servers on the net like the one I gave you 4.2.2.1 comes up when you google verizon dns servers. Let me know if this helps at all.

so i tried to 198 that u said and that didnt work and then i googled how to do all this changing cuz ive never done this before and went to dnsserverlist.org which told me that these were the best for me 209.128.95.2
209.213.196.218

Your welcome but so far it hasn't been much like actual help. Please open a command prompt and type ipconfig /all and post the result here. You can use the snipping tool or copy and paste, just want to see the results of your most recent efforts.

According to what we've done so far. Pinging router, pinging outside ipaddress. Returns were fine, but when we tried to ping a "fully qualified domain name" the request timed out. This says DNS or Hosts so lets take a look at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc just copy and paste that into the run dialog box hit enter and open up the file named hosts, (no file extension) use notepad. Let me know if there are any lines in there that is not preceeded by a pound sign (#)

Sorry, I also forgot to have you flush your dns cache. So please, from a command prompt, using elevated privledges (find your command prompt shortcut under all programs>accessories right click on it and choose run as administrator) type ipconfig /flushdns hit enter and then type ipconfig /registerdns. Jeez it's getting late....bed time soon.
